No matter the profession, students who earn a bachelor’s degree face an immediate, important question: do I enter the workforce or do I stay in school and earn my master’s degree? Graduate school has its advantages. In many professions, earning a higher degree means making more money and having a better chance at promotion.

For many, it’s a difficult question to answer. But they should not feel as if they are alone in this. It’s a tough decision no matter who you are, and it’s not an easy one to answer.

Even with the incredible technological changes throughout the last decade, there is still one document upon which the hope of most job seekers resides: the résumé.

As the first impression a job seeker makes on an employer – and the principle method by which people get past the initial review and into an office for a one-on-one interview – the resume remains of paramount importance in the job-hunting game.

Those graduating from college in 2013 are already getting good news: employers are reporting they plan to hire 13% more college graduates than they did in 2012, according to a new survey.

“The Job Outlook for the College Class of 2013” report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) also found that half the employers surveyed planned to increase the number of college graduates they hire. Only one out of every 10 companies reported a plan to cut back on their number of employees.

In business, it is often said that it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. When it comes to landing a job and building a career, both things matter, but who you know can make a crucial difference. Often, it’s the people that you know who bring job opportunities to your attention and could help you to get your foot in the door of a lifelong career. For most college students, it’s their network of connections that indirectly or directly lead to jobs and promotions.

There are reasons why the master of business administration (MBA) is currently the most sought-after graduate degree. This degree is often the key to promotion or a better job, and typically viewed as essential for management and executive positions. In many companies it’s almost impossible to be considered for supervisory or top level jobs without an MBA.
